How I Manage Athlete's Foot

In brief: Athlete's foot is a term used to describe a variety of dermatological problems. This article is limited to the management of contact dermatitis and fungal infection. To cure contact dermatitis the cause must be discovered and eliminated. Often a substance used in manufacturing shoes is at fault. Fungal infections can be treated with topical fungicides. Athletes can reduce the playing time lost because of foot problems by seeking treatment as soon as itching, peeling, or swelling occur. Proper diagnosis and careful selection of treatment modalities keep feet functioning at peak capacity.
